Rush Creeks is one of the top public courses in Minneapolis. It's located in the northwest suburb of Maple Grove, west of I-94. It opened in 1996, and was designed by Cupp & John Fought, par 72, five sets of tees, from the Duncan Tees, it's 7,306 Yards, 148 slope. Water's in play on 11 holes, well bunkered, and extremely well conditioned with a private club feel to it. Challenging, yet fun course to play, expensive.

Conditions were good. Greens I thought were a little bumpy, but I think that is from over-watering. They rolled at a medium clip. A little slower than other courses in this price range. Nice white sand soft bunkers. One gripe- the yardage poles. I was fooled twice by them. Most courses, you have a 150 pole, and then plates at 100 and 200. On one shortish par 4, I pulled my tee shot left and had to hit around a bush. I saw what I thought to be the 150 pole to my right, pulled 8 iron, and executed a shot I was truly proud of that was tracking right at the pin. To my dismay, it ended up about 35 yards long, as it was a 100 yard pole on that hole!! Who the heck has a 100 yard pole when all the rest of them have been 150's!!! Grrr...Another hole, what turned out to be a long par 4, I thought I saw the 150 pole smack dab in the middle of the fairway on the crest of a hill. Pulled 3 wood, as it was about 250 out. Get to my ball and have 200+ left to the pin (Pinseeker 1500.) That blew. Made big numbers on those holes because of that. Other than that, I really liked the course. Very fair layout for the most part with not many blind shots. Nice setting with no houses save for one par 3. Conditions were good. $80 good? Not quite. Fortunately, it was my B-day today and we got to split the cost of one round. It was a fairly easy walk overall if you are reasonably fit. The front side had a couple par 4's back to back that were a little too similar in length. Par 4 13th hole is one devilish little hole. Look out for that one! 18 is an absolute bear as well- especially with a 30 MPH wind. Probably one of the toughest finishing holes I have played here in the cities.

Without a doubt, our best public course in the Minneapolis area, played this week and the course was immaculate. Pace of play was just at 4 hours, the fairways bent grass were cut tight, greens super, not even going to complain about the price becuase it was worth it.
